Buckden is for sale. A GUCC ‘Big Woolwich’ Motor Boat, built of riveted steel by Harland and Wolff in 1936, she still has her National DM2 engine installation, and is in cargo carrying condition with full running gear.
Unusually, she has been restored to her ‘as delivered’ form and detail, except for her current livery. So she has a shapely wooden boarded and framed cabin (built by Brinklow to a very high spec), the rare H and W high pigeon box, wooden back deck (in teak!) with closed weeps, electric klaxon, removable liner funnel, etc.

Miscellaneous
Gort is a very rare boat. She was built in 1939 at Braunston by Frank Nurser for Samuel Barlow Coal Co and worked in their fleet until 1960. She was converted in the 1960s, mostly using oak, and was bought by Innes Catto’s parents in 1965. Innes lived on her for several years in the 1980s. She has a traditional and fully decorated back cabin with the original controls and her original Gardner 2L2 engine and gearbox. The boat was painted by Ron Hough in the Samuel Barlow livery and this has been maintained.
